My power tools and some other specialty items were left out.<br /><br />But yes, I always dust in pure talc for my new sacs (or old ones if they're still good...).<br /><br />Regards,<br />777 - Tyler Dahl :)777 Pen Repairhttp://777penrepair.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95460470231784707.post-90650467131402816432011-06-13T03:59:35.328-05:002011-06-13T03:59:35.328-05:00Great video, Tyler!

I think I have almost as many tools as you, but I haven't delved into Parker Vacumatic repairs yet.<br /> One question for you: do you apply a bit of pure talc on the sacs that you have replaced? I didn't see any talc in the video. Just curious...Majanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95460470231784707.post-16161237681553185082011-06-06T20:02:04.463-05:002011-06-06T20:02:04.463-05:00Hey again, good to hear from you as always!

I seem to have a knack for working with small things so I've learned at a highly accelerated level. As far as what got me into it, well, I think I shall save that for tomorrows post. You've got a good idea. A "what started it all" type of post would be nice!<br /><br />Regards,<br />777 - Tyler Dahl777 Pen Repairhttp://777penrepair.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95460470231784707.post-47559667372065064812011-06-06T19:33:35.337-05:002011-06-06T19:33:35.337-05:00Wow nice array of tools!

How long have you been repairing pens Tyler, and what got you into it?

My 4 hole block served me for almost a year before I advanced to a bigger one. Most people will neither need or want one with more than 4-6 holes.<br /><br />There is always the option making one yourself. I've heard that making one out of wood and then fitting it with a steel plate on top works very well. All you need is wood, a strip of metal plating, a saw, drill, and screws. Of course, it sounds easier than it really is I'm sure... :)Regards,777 - Tyler Dahl777 Pen Repairhttp://777penrepair.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95460470231784707.post-77499484100251312462011-06-06T03:37:21.313-05:002011-06-06T03:37:21.313-05:00Doh!

Do a google search on the following:<br /><br />Tryphon Pen Parts<br />Woodbin.ca<br /><br />I like both of these companies but they each have their ups and downs. Tryphon is a but slow on responding (like 1-2 weeks slow...). Woodbin is in Canada. I prefer Woodbin, they have outstanding customer service and shipping isn't that bad.<br /><br />Glad this was informative!<br /><br />Regards,<br />777 - Tyler Dahl777 Pen Repairhttp://777penrepair.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95460470231784707.post-2560644168996640472011-06-06T03:20:10.771-05:002011-06-06T03:20:10.771-05:00Yes, informative!
